13 Week Bumpdate!

So I have decided to do some Bumpdates :)

I will not be taking over this blog with all baby stuff, although I am very excited so some days it might seem as though.  I hope you continue to read along with me and enjoy my little space.

Onto the Bump!

How far along are you? 13 Weeks and 1 Day 

How I'm feeling: Great!  Just tired every night. 

Total weight gain:  None so far! :)  I want to keep it under 20 if at all possible.

How big is baby? Baby Hughes is the size of a peach!  About 2.9 inches and 0.81 ounces.  Growing big and strong.

This week baby: Baby is still tiny but has fingerprints already! :)  His or Her vocal cords are forming this week.

Maternity clothes: Today is the first day I am wearing Maternity Jeans!  I have a couple pairs that I can still wear of my normal clothes but they are dirty and it was just easier to pull these babies out!  :)  My mom has bought me quite a bit already though so I am excited to be able to start wearing those.

Sleep: Sleep is my best friend!  I think I could sleep 12 hours a night and be good :)  I have had a couple of rough nights this week but that is only because I'm squishing the ladies.  OUCH!

Best moment this week: We have received our first thing for Baby Hughes!  My mom found the car seat that I want on Brad's Deals for a super good price so she ordered them!  They already arrived!  We are super excited!

Movement: Not yet, but I know that it is still too soon.  Ryan can't wait to feel him or her move though.

Food cravings: I want a panini.  I have wanted a panini since before I knew I was pregnant and have yet to have one.  Weird thing, we have a panini maker and have been to a panini place since then, and still haven't had one.  I think it just sounds good but I don't really want one. LOL

Food aversions: Nothing in particular, but the smell of things can really bother me at times.

Belly button in or out:  In 

What I am thankful for: I am thankful that this baby is going to be joining our family and is growing big and strong.  All we want is a healthy baby at the end of this.

What I'm looking forward to: We are both very much looking forward to finding out what we are having.  We both currently think it's a boy but would be perfectly fine with either gender.  We find out in 4-6 weeks

Liebster Award!!!

I was nominated for a Liebster Award!! :)

I couldn't believe it when Jordan nominated me!  It is such a pleasure and sincerely, Thank You!

The rules for the Liebster Award are as follows: 

1. Link back to the blogger that nominated you.

2. Answer the 11 questions requested by the nominator

3. Choose 11 nominees with small followings.

4. You cannot nominate the person who nominated you.

5. You must let the bloggers know they were nominated. 

My 11 Questions Answered:

1. Who would you want with you if you were stranded on a deserted island?

This is a very tough choice.  I would want both my mom and husband.  But if I had to choose one, it would be the hubs - he is my baby daddy after all :)

2. If you could do anything you wanted right now, what would it be?

I would either own a dance studio or be an elegant event coordinator.  I know, both very different from each other, but both are dreams of mine.

3. If money was no object, what would you do all day?

I would own about 30 acres and the hubs and I would run an event business off our land and have room for hunting.

4. Where do you most want to travel, but have never been? 

I would love to go to Europe.  The hubs says that I would love Germany.  Maybe one day :)

5. What is your favorite memory?

There are so many to choose from.  I think all of my favorite memories currently would have to do with my dad and husband.  Two most important men in my life.

6. Who is your favorite author?

My favorite author would probably be Maggie Stiefvater

7. If you could go back in time, what year would you travel to?

I would go back to 2005, the summer that my dad got sick and passed away.  I would spend more time with him and not let the little stupid things get in the way.  I miss him every day.

8. How would your friends describe you?

I would guess Loyal and Loving.  I think that I have an old soul and care a ton about people.  I usually end up caring too much and sometimes get hurt.  But I don't think it is all bad because it just means that there are better friends out there.  I definitely have some of the best friends in the whole wide world :)

9. If you had to evacuate your house immediately, what is one thing you would grab on the way out?

This is tough...I would make sure that Ryan and the pups were safe and sound.

10. Who is the one person that helped make you who you are today?

My mom.  She is amazing!  She is my bestest friend - besides Ryan - and my favorite!  I love her dearly.  It used to make me upset how much alike we are, but I have grown to love it!  I hope that I can be half the mom she is to me. :)

11. What do you do when you're driving alone in the car?

Jam out!  Nothing wrong with it.  Crank that music and let your little heart be content!
